In 1975, Bell repaired the new york exchange in 23 days. I have no doubt AWS will fuck it up.

The long history of such idiots being elevated to these positionssimply reinforce the stereotypes.

Katherine Boyle, former Peter Thiel intern, says government is an enemy of families. So she's investing in high-tech weaponry...for the government. I shared my thoughts on her "American Dynamism" — a VC pitch-deck version of Christian nationalism. NYT gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/b...

Stayley is so out of touch his observations have red shifted.

There is so much incredible engineering that nobody ever really gets to talk about until decades later. This is the kind of infrastructure that we were able to build because we were a country that valued expertise, and competence, and the ability of people to keep secrets.

Free the #AlabamaPenis

Donald Trump won’t release the Epstein files because he raped children. Full stop.

While the Queen was on the throne, it was a different matter. With her passing it's time to ask - perfectly reasonably - who the institution of monarchy serves and whether this one family should rule over us all in perpetuity... with almost zero accountability www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

22 arrests. All Maga. Including this armed terrorist with a gun who assaulted a woman. I think we know who the violent ones are. #NoKings

The young man in the video got on his tik tok account and said he made this months ago and it had nothing to do with ICE AND HE DID NOT CAPTION IT. Clearly manipulated and putting this young man in danger.

Good thing the military isn't woke anymore and is willing to take the fight to our enemies, like Colombian fisherman and Interstate 5.

If I was JD, I'd be looking at what happened to Pence and be worried.

Seems like a reasonable request

My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.

UPDATE: COLOMBIA’s President says 🇺🇸 government (Trump) “committed murder” and bombed a fisherman with no ties to drugs “The boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure”

Trump posting a video of himself dropping a huge shit on America is probably the most accurate public statement he has ever made.

A lot of centrist commentators who genuinely got worked up about the unforgivably insulting nature of "cling to guns and religion" or "basket of deplorables" are weirdly silent about Trump portraying himself as literally shitting on American cities

Is the orang the ai or the Russians?

I am telling you EVERYONE in Alabama is texting about the 3 cops in Fairhope tackling the woman in the enormous inflatable dick costume. EVERYONE.

From the Larchives. Tonight's RHPS post.

cops tackling and marching off with a giant penis, Kristi Noem menacing a chicken she swears is antifa, feds pepper-spraying a frog ridicule is an extremely effective protest tactic and foil for authoritarianism

WARNING: GoFundMe is "growth hacking" - it's created 1.4 million "donation pages" for nonprofits without their consent and without any prior warning or contact. Now, this is conventionally regarded as charity fraud. Beware. mastodon.social/@gvwilson/11... news story: abc7news.com/post/gofundm...

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

A good, safe day of protests to all of you!

Well, baseball won't be the revenge of Sick's field, but I hope the Dodgers lose.

It's honestly tiring fighting for myself.

Every time a white person, particularly a white man, says or does some wild, racist shit, watch how they are framed as "kids." This is a feature of white supremacy, not a bug.

just an entire damn party of shameless liars

I don't trust anybody that loves .45ACP, plastic grips, or Retrumplican thought.

This is a terrible fucking idea stacked on top of a bunch of other terrible fucking ideas, stuffed into a suit and given a meeting with coffee. taskandpurpose.com/news/army-pr...

Sharing this fantastic AI take partially just for the phrase "an ouroboros of stale air"

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

In a sane and sensible world, that admission would end his career. Replace "ChatGPT" with "His phone's autocorrect feature."

“The crisis unfolding in southwest Alaska has drawn attention to Trump cuts to grants to help small, mostly Indigenous villages prepare for storms… a $20 million U.S. EPA grant to Kipnuk, which was inundated by floodwaters, was terminated by Trump…” www.texarkanagazette.com/news/2025/oc...

I hear the rest of the world yelling at us like we are yelling at Corporalissmo.

Corporal Couch Fucker offering us these pearls of wisdom.

I've heard it said that you shouldn't speak ill of the dead. So, I'd like to get it in ahead of time. Mitch McConnell is a truly awful human who has worked hard to make the US a much worse place. (And much of the rest of the world too, come to think of it.)

*Talking to a Wired reporter who is writing down what I say* I am the proud owner of a Cybertruck, it has an AI in it that I talk to for therapy, I am now divorced and yes it's because of the truck

Andrew Cuomo has the greatest mind in contemporary politics

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

#WARNING: The CPSC is warning consumers to immediately stop using TreeCute Infant Walkers.

I would like to wish everyone a happy Eternal September. Again.

Welcome to the pit. Grab a helmet.

I think we're in a lot of trouble, and it would be a mistake to underestimate the threat. But the optimist in me looks at all the infighting and posturing even right now and thinks post-Trump MAGA implodes like post-Tito Yugoslavia. But maybe that's wishcasting.

Ffs I am starting to understand how Austria felt in the 30s.
